The children are not afraid, she says. Nor has the school received many messages of concern from parents. Possible observation A resident in the area posted the following message on Facebook on Monday: “Watch out now! I think I would follow the children to school in the next few days too.” By Tuesday morning, the post had been shared over 200 times. The man wants to remain anonymous because he has received a lot of harassment after he posted the post, but he does not want to delete it. – If anyone else had seen a wolf, I would appreciate it if they spoke up, he says to news. He says that it was an experienced hunter who saw what was perceived as a wolf. – That’s why I thought it was okay to speak up. Can’t rule out wolves Espen Marker in the State Nature Inspectorate can’t confirm the wolf sighting.
